When Daniel Fischer cofounded Tevard Biosciences in 2017, he wasn’t trying to bet on the next hot RNA technology. His interest was more personal. His daughter Natasha has Dravet syndrome, a rare form ...

In cap-dependent translation initiation, the open reading frame (ORF) of mRNA is established by the placement of the AUG start codon and initiator tRNA in the ribosomal peptidyl (P) site. Internal ...

Deep in the protein translation machinery are cogs known as transfer RNAs, or tRNAs. Actually, they may be more than mere cogs, say scientists at the University of Chicago. Like other components of ...

Biologists have directly observed the birth of a tRNA gene, using experimental evolution of bacterial populations in the laboratory. Translation is the process by which genetic information is ...

DNA translation is the term used to describe the process of protein synthesis by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum. The genetic information in DNA is used as a basis to create ...
